0. EU uhkaa Metaa suurilla sakkoilla.
This sentence uses the present tense (uhkaa) to describe a current action. The present tense in Finnish is formed by adding personal endings to the verb stem. Here, 'uhkaa' is the 3rd person singular form. The adessive case ('suurilla sakkoilla') is used to indicate the means or instrument by which something is done, similar to 'with' in English. Learners can practice this by describing actions using tools or methods, e.g., 'Hän kirjoittaa kynällä' (He writes with a pen).
1. Meta on rikkonut EU:n sääntöjä.
This sentence uses the present perfect tense ('on rikkonut') to describe an action that has occurred in the past but is relevant to the present. The present perfect is formed with the auxiliary verb 'olla' (to be) in the present tense and the past participle of the main verb. The partitive case ('sääntöjä') is used here because the rules are the object of the verb and the action is incomplete or ongoing. Learners can use this structure to talk about past actions with present relevance, e.g., 'Olen syönyt' (I have eaten).
4. EU haluaa suojella lapsia netissä.
This sentence uses the infinitive form ('suojella') to express an intention or desire. The infinitive is often used after verbs like 'haluta' (to want). The partitive case ('lapsia') is used for the object because the action of protecting is ongoing or incomplete. The inessive case ('netissä') indicates location, similar to 'in' in English. Learners can practice this by expressing desires or intentions, e.g., 'Haluan oppia suomea' (I want to learn Finnish).
